This story wouldn't be out of place in several of the monthly magazines
deickemeyer1 February 2016
The good turn is done by two burglars to a despondent man who is about to commit suicide. If he kills himself, they will be accused of murder, and two policemen are sitting on the steps of the house smoking, so they bind him and call up his sweetheart, getting her name from the man's "last" letter. If told in good English prose, this story wouldn't be out of place in several of the monthly magazines; but such an incident is not of a very virile quality. It is perfectly clear and will be acceptable, for the acting of Mr. Johnson as the despondent man and Miss Lawrence as the heroine is good. Such stories can hardly be counted as important. - The Moving Picture World, June 10, 1911
